Wayside Elementary School - Bartlesville

School start times have been adjusted due to Senate Bill 1481, which doubles the required daily recess time for elementary students from 20 minutes to 40 minutes, effective next school year. See how BPS has adjusted bell schedules to meet this requirement while preserving instructional time: https://www.bps-ok.org/article/3045292

Wayside Parents:
Please use this as a guide when planning extended trips so your students do not miss important academic opportunities!

Thinking about your next family vacation? A little planning goes a long way!

Whenever possible, schedule trips during school breaks so your child doesn't miss valuable learning experience. Planning ahead means making memories without missing moments that matter in the classroom.

Take a look at the BPS 2026-27 Calendar to plan around our scheduled breaks: https://www.bps-ok.org/documents/school-year-calendars/22423184

Did you know the proposed bond issues on the August 25 ballot would result in NO INCREASE in the tax rate? As older bonds are retired, we can continue to invest in our schools' safety, technology, and extracurricular programs while keeping the millage rate steady.

It's Principal's Day! It's Mr. Smith's third year as principal of Wayside - and he's much loved and appreciated. He's "Nacho" average principal - and we thank him for all that he does to keep us safe and learning. He drives buses, dresses up, kisses pigs, and is generally a lot of fun. Thanks, Mr. Smith!
